Country Girl

Steve Earle


She's a country girl 
Young and pretty 
She wanna see the world 
So she headed for the city 
She was entertained in all the right places 
Knew half of the names, and all of the faces 
Just a country girl 
If her daddy could see her now 
Just a country girl 
Well you'd never recognize your little angel now 
She comes down from way South, 
She talks slow and lazy 
When she opened her mouth the city boys went crazy 
They fed her pink champagne, give her a headache 
Cheap cocaine makes her meaner than a rattlesnake 
Reelin' and a rockin' couldn't get enough 
Crawlin' when the sun comes up 
And payback's hell 
There's a bag lady talkin' to her shopping cart 
Don't you know the scary part 
is she saw herself
